Lyrics

The oceans wide
The wind rolls in from the sea tonight
Carrying echoes in the fading light
Every wave brings back a memory
Of who we were and who we couldn't be

The sunset fades beyond the shore
Leaving foot prints where we walked before
The tide rolls in and steals the sand
Like time slipping through my hand
The years moved on like drifting sand
Like a shadow walking through a distant land
I traced the path we used to know
Now it's buried where the firefly's glow

And every star above the water
Feels a little farther than before
I keep listening for your voice
Somewhere beyond the distant shore

I see the light in your eyes
It's everything I couldn't recognize
Maybe things could have changed tide
Just like the oceans wide
Now the waves keep pulling me away
Carrying words I never got to say
Through the storm and the endless night
I'm still searching for your light
Across the oceans wide
Oh
The oceans wide

The moonlight dances on the sea
Like broken pieces of what used to be
A thousand miles between then and now
Yet your memory still finds me somehow
I've walked roads I never planned
Chasing dreams across this land
But every horizon that I find
Brings me back to you each time

And every tide that leaves the shoreline
Returns to where it started from
Maybe hearts are much the same
Still reaching for the place they belong

I see the light in your eyes
It's everything I couldn't recognize
Maybe things could have changed tide
Just like the oceans wide
Now the waves keep pulling me away
Carrying words I never got to say
Through the storm and the endless night
I'm still searching for your light
Across the oceans wide
Oh
Yeah
The oceans wide

If I could sail beyond the years
Past all the doubts and all the fears
I'd tell you everything I hid inside
Before the current changed the tide

And if tomorrow never comes
Know you're the reason for this song
A lighthouse shining through the dark
Guiding this worn and wandering heart

I see the light in your eyes
It's everything I couldn't recognize
Maybe things could have changed tide
Just like the oceans wide

Now the waves keep pulling me away
Carrying words I never got to say
Through the storm and the endless night
I'm still searching for your light
Across the oceans wide
Oh
Across the oceans wide
Oh
Across the oceans wide

The wind rolls in from the sea tonight
Carrying echoes in the fading light
And somewhere beyond the horizon line
Your heart still sails through mine
Across the oceans wide
